I think that I have a unique perspective to offer. Through some strange twist
of fate, I've taught at the elementary, middle and high school levels, and I
am currently teaching at the college level. Regardless of the age group, I've
always had, and continue to have, a great time teaching English. And while I
believe that enthusiasm can be infectious, there are always some students who
make it clear that they are just not interested. And that's fine. Despite
their best efforts not to do so, I believe that they all take away something
that they didn't know before. And truthfully, you don't ever know what impact
you're having on a student until years later, if ever. So I give it my best
shot, and I accentuate the positive whenever possible.
